I'm currently a founding engineer at a startup exploring multimodality with voice models and low-latency interaction with virtual machines. I took a leave in 2025 from Harvard, where I was studying for an S.M. and A.B. in Computer Science with a secondary in Psychology.

Professionally, I've mostly used Python, TypeScript, and Go, but Rust and C++ are my goto. I think expressive type systems make for maintainable projects that scale, especially in a world of LLMs.

And for anything regarding infrastructure, I prefer using Nix and bash.
